Hello Terry.  I have not much to add from personal experience as I also found that soft foods were the easiest things to swallow when caring for someone who was having difficulty eating.  Lots of soups - my blender was in frequent use!

I am attaching some information from MacMillan Cancer Support - don't know if you have seen this - as this gives some good tips and recipes - I hope it is of use.

My best wishes to your husband and yourself.  Annie

So sorry to hear of his diagnose. The waiting period for biopsy is hard. Sounds good with the smoothies so nutritious! Hope I can get my husband to drink smoothies ( recently diagnosed stage 4 sarcoma) The best to your husband and you.
